1085 Sky High Drive, Dillard, GA 30537

Long-range views off the porch and a separate suite with its own front door. Sky Valley is the highest incorporated city in Georgia. Thin clean air, and a summer that behaves like somewhere further north. A detached carport sits at street level, about 16 steps down to the main entry level. The lot is steep. That pitch is why the porches hang out over the valley instead of sitting level with a neighbor's roof. Worth the walk. The main house was expertly renovated, with cedar shake siding for a distinctive mountain character. Beamed and vaulted ceilings, pine flooring, a remodeled kitchen with stainless appliances and solid surface counters, and a wet bar for the room where everyone ends up. Three bedrooms and three and a half baths, the owner's suite on the main level with a separate shower, and a split bedroom plan that keeps guests at the far end of the house. Off the other side of the deck, sharing the same views, a separate suite with a second kitchen, full bath and private entrance. In-law quarters, a guest house, a home office, or a short-term rental, which the City of Sky Valley permits under an annual license. Buyers should confirm current city and POA requirements. A treehouse platform sits in the canopy, roofed and railed, with its own elevated walkway. Almost nothing up here comes with a second living space. Downstairs, the finished terrace level adds a den and game room with its own exterior entry. 3,750 finished square feet in all. Wraparound porches and a deck run the view side, and below the house a firepit is ringed with stump seating. Sky Valley Country Club is minutes away: 18-hole golf, heated pool, tennis, pickleball, croquet, fitness and dining. Highlands, North Carolina is a short drive, Dillard and Clayton closer still.
